Speaking of the link movement, the 5060A housed Patek's 330 S C automatic, link which ticked at 3.5Hz while offering 48 hours of power reserve, a Gyromax balance, and a 21k gold rotor. Tucked beneath the Aquanaut's closed steel caseback, the 330 S C carried link the Geneva Seal.
As a mixing of two of the most ubiquitous trends in sport watches link right now – green dials and bronze cases, link though not always together – an 18K should feel wild, a bit flashy, and endlessly fun, but this precious-metal Tudor has less charisma than I had link hoped. I love gold watches, even gold sport watches, but without a matched bracelet (for that pleasing heft) or a more classic colorway, this combo doesn't speak to me.
The movement inside is the link calibre 861 that was also used in the Speedmaster Mark II as you probably know. This Lemania based movement was the successor of the caliber 321 that was used before Omega link started using the caliber 861 movement in link 1968.
It turns link out that staff from the boutique came to eat at link their restaurant one night, and Yen just happened to be wearing her own salmon-dial RO, which Ly thinks may have sealed the deal for what was to come: this extra special, and limited variation on the black ceramic format with its colorful link dial.
It's not exactly a make-or-break feature, but I link distinctly link remember diving Kelvin Grove in Vancouver while wearing a Seiko SRP777 and being able to easily set link the bezel thanks to the shape and knurling (jimping?) on the bezel. It's the small things that make a tool watch, well, toolish.
The Royal Oak link Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT is about as practical a watch as you are link going to find in the RO Concept line. Granted, there is very little about a tourbillon-equipped wristwatch that screams link practicality, but this one offers an extremely long power reserve matched with what I think is the most useful of all complications, the GMT.
Check your calendar – the real one, not the one on your phone – it's Halloween weekend! The spookiest time link of the year calls for the scariest of movies. This week's pick is less of a sequel and more a continuation of a singular film vision, with a star-studded cast including Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Bill Skarsgard, and our man of the hour, James McAvoy. As watch lovers, we have to go the extra link mile and pick horror films that also feature killer timepieces. It Chapter link Two does just that.
The best-known and earliest maker of resonance wristwatches was and is link F. P. Journe, whose Chronometre a Resonance launched in 2000, originally as a subscription piece. I was very skeptical link of the watch at first but realized after reading The Art Of Breguet, which goes into quite a lot of granular technical detail about Breguet's resonance watches, that Journe link had followed exactly the same principles.
As a result, the new movement was also much more accurate. Rolex modified the movement, replacing 15 components, screws, and link related clamps. Overall, the Valjoux 72-derived movements powered the Daytona from link 1963 link until 1988, an impressive 25-year run.
A longstanding relationship between IWC and the Laureus Sport for link Good Foundation has produced a number link of special watches that have both appealed to collectors and fueled highly focused link altruistic projects. This time, IWC has produced a Portugieser monopusher chronograph that features the company's impressive hand-wound 59360. The mission is to aid in training children and adults with mental disabilities in Olympic sports disciplines.
